A Challenging Student Report on the Diego Rivera Mural of Pan American Unity

I have a great deal of respect for my students, whose English has progressed much more than my Chinese (I've never had a lesson) and my Arabic (I had a few lessons back in the mid 1970s.)  But sometimes their writing shows just how challenging writing in English can be, and I feel challenged as the one who needs to help them learn to express what they mean effectively and somewhat correctly.  Here's an example of what I mean:


A visiting of the Diego Rivera Mural in the City College of San Francisco was been at April 10, 2014 with our classmates and the teacher Martin.  What we utilized a hour of the class.  Crossing to the Diego Rivera theatre there is next to the Creative Arts building. First attraction was a symbolic relief that appeared a big head of the human of some cultures characteristics.  It is in front of the theatre.  The Mural has painted for seventeen years of preparing by Diego Rivera experienced of his life to create that mural contained a rich meaning of the histories.  Diego Rivera was painted directly on each piece in San Francisco for four months around in 1940 and then refixed after.  He used flat technic dimensional whit full of the colors appearing comparison.  Also he used a composition of the mirror to compare strongly and put the opposition elements of the comparison.  For example, the strongest comparison is on the meddle of the mural there are two guys very different feature.  One guy held an axe to working his big rock, step by step showing the traditional culture.  Other guy waved a bummer that was building the mechanical culture.  It merged two countries cultures and developed harmoniously.  The mural is 22” high and 74” weigh when the people had refixed in the location of today because it was separate.  Several pieces of mural was not configured at the same time because Diego Rivera had not long time in San Francisco, he went back Mexico and continued his art studio.  Diego Rivera’s mean idea was shaving the historic stories for the next generations to know what happening was.  The people may read the mural to know the past and read to the future.
